2018

I have never been one to rely on gut feelings or emotions to drive my decisions. Having said that, it is my view that 2018 will be a year that brings with it many opportunities to succeed. Success being an ambiguous word, in turn this means different things to different people. This is not limited to only things I experience from my own perspective, but also when viewed from a much wider perspective. As with everything in life, barriers will exist and my optimism is based on looking back to 2017 and seeing how groups of people, not individuals, have managed to overcome great obstacles. In business, in life, in politics, music, art, etc., etc., etc. As a nation we are learning something I learned as a service member many years back: a team can and will accomplish so much more than any one individual. 2018 will be a year measured by how we all come together in pursuit of our 'happiness', however defined.
